Hello,
I've run into a problem trying to install ports-mgmt/pkg. When trying to
run make or portmaster I get the following error:
You are about to convert your system to pkg while you have ports/packages
installed with the old pkg_install tools.
To switch to pkg:
1) Install ports-mgmt/pkg
2) Convert your package database by running pkg2ng
*** [pre-everything] Error code 1
So it is telling me I cant install pkg without first installing pkg, it
would be funny if it wasn't totally blocking my work :) I have two
machines in this state that I must have forgotten to update to pkg.
I have tried putting WITHOUT_PKGNG=yes in /etc/make.conf but that trick
apparently does not work anymore.
This system is: FreeBSD proxy2 9.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE #2

Do you know of a work around to get pkg installed? Do I need to downgrade
to an earlier kernel?
Thanks,
-Tim Skinner
